It seems unlikely that Jermaine Jones will return to the New England Revolution, according to ESPN commentator Taylor Twellman. The message gained legitimacy when Jones retweeted it soon after.
If @Jermainejunior stays in @MLS it will NOT be in NE. Interests from ENG, GER, BRA are there but does a big @MLS team spend $$ to get him?

The news isn't particularly surprising as Jones is looking for a long-term contract, which is a tough sell after an injury-plagued season. Jones is looking to find a team that will employ him through 2018, when hopes to play in his second World Cup.
Though it appears that the Revs have moved on from Jones, there's a possibility that the midfielder will remain in MLS. If this happens, the Revs could profit as Twellman notes that a trade would be necessary.
Spending $$$ means JJ will have to be acquired via a trade with NE...this will be very interesting to watch. https://t.co/bcYDgkezVE

Jones was signed by the Revolution as a Designated Player in August 2014. Since then he has contributed two goals and four assists in 24 regular-season appearances. He also has one goal and two assists in five post-season games.
